How it works on your site

The Raise is a battery-powered, wheeled-compact cobot platform built on dual UR20 arms that prints layout, drills anchors, and installs facade brackets on concrete slabs, ceilings, and walls. It covers overhead drilling, MEP penetration marking, and ceiling grid layout including bracket installation for curtain wall trades; taping, framing, and board work stay with the crew. On a 1,000-ft high-rise, glaziers stay inside the handrail while the robot marks curtain-wall layout at the leading edge, six feet beyond the crew. Raise has been shipping since 2023.

Interior Layout

MEP Penetration Marking

The robot locates itself via total station and prism, drives to each point, and marks the specified geometry. Ceiling and wall marking runs alongside floor layout in the same pass; the crew handles file preparation and control point establishment before the robot begins.

Ceiling Grid Layout

MEP Installation

Overhead Drilling & Anchoring

The Raise drills anchors and penetrations at the points set in the digital plan and logs every hole it drills. The crew's operators plan the drilling run, run the robot and check the finished holes.

JR butler, the glazing contractor, brought Raise onto the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital project in Memphis after hand layout on the first two floors, and the robot laid out curtain wall positions for more than 10,000 glass panels.
